??? a story book from
the time we approached the
harbor – fotted with innumerable
sailing boars and ??? ???
to the close of a happy day
the sparkling lights came on –
The evening on board was chaotic
because of the disturbance caused
by two drunken passengers –
The Giant John Aasen and his
manager. They were finally
put off – the latter to be taken
to a hospital to have attention
for a broken arm and ribs caused
by a fall down an open hatch –
We sailed about midnight.

Saturday Jan 19″
Rather a peaceful day after
the turmoil on the steamer
last night. Weather cold
and clear – staid??? in on
account of a bad cold –
At 5 P.M. our steamer entered


(suggest a change)

    “seemingly” a story book from
    the time we approached the
    harbor – “dotted” with innumerable
    sailing “boats” and “8 AM pano(??) to the close”

    yes “staid” (like stayed)

      correction – after I saw the next page, it is definitely,

      harbor – “dotted” with innumerable
      sailing “boats” and “sampans” to the close
